In NURE give the opportunity to students with visual impairments to study without restrictions

11.11.2019

In NURE, the Department of Biomedical Engineering uses the latest equipment, which provides an opportunity for students with visual disabilities to acquire skills without restrictions.

At the Department of Biomedical Engineering, students of the BEBME group in the laboratory workshop of the discipline Fundamentals of anatomy, physiology and pathology use mobile devices Magnilink ZIP (Sweden), which are obtained in the framework of international projects DAAD and Erasmus+. These devices are specially adapted for the visually impaired and are certified by the Low Vision International Assotiation.

The equipment has digital cameras with adjustable magnification from 10 to 40 times with a large depth of field and allow you to receive digital images on 19 inch high resolution monitors (Full HD) with adjustable optical magnification parameters and light filters, which is especially important for students with different types of visual impairment. The dual-axis desktops of these devices and high-quality optical systems are very convenient for the study of micropreparations at small magnifications.

The creation of a new laboratory base and the use of modern equipment during practical training allows to organize the educational process at the European level and contributes to the sustainable development of the University.
